TexArrest publishes arrest and booking information obtained from publicly available government sources. Understanding where this data comes from and how it is updated helps clarify why records may change, appear incomplete, or differ from court documents.
TexArrest does not create arrest records. It aggregates and displays information as it is made publicly available by law enforcement and government agencies.
Primary Data Sources
Arrest records published on TexArrest are sourced from official government systems, which may include:
- County sheriff and jail booking systems
- Law enforcement public access portals
- County-level inmate and custody databases
These systems record booking events when an individual is taken into custody. TexArrest reflects the information as it exists at the time it is obtained.
Update Frequency
TexArrest updates records based on availability and access to source systems. Update frequency may vary by county, agency, and system limitations.
Some records may be updated multiple times, while others may reflect a single booking snapshot. TexArrest does not guarantee real-time updates.
Why Records May Change or Differ
Differences between TexArrest records and court or agency records may occur for several reasons:
- Charges may be amended or dismissed after booking
- Agencies may revise or correct their own data
- Custody status may change after release or transfer
- Court filings may use different terminology or numbering
TexArrest does not independently monitor or track ongoing case developments unless legally required to do so.
Limitations of Aggregated Data
TexArrest publishes records on an informational basis only. While care is taken to reflect source data accurately, TexArrest does not guarantee completeness, timeliness, or ongoing accuracy beyond the source material provided.
Errors originating in government systems must be addressed through the official record review process.
Key Takeaway
TexArrest reflects publicly available booking information as provided by government sources. Official case status, outcomes, and legal determinations must be obtained from the appropriate court or agency.
